I''m going to try and learn how to do networking in python as a basis for 1. Learning, and 2. Future multiplayer programming The reason I choose python, is because I am most familiar with it and have spent the most time learning it, I also like it better than other languages I have tried (c++, java). Anyway, what I want to do is set up a simple chat server, where clients can connect to the server and send messages to it, in which it will send the messages to the other clients. I know pretty much nothing about networking, although I have tried to get a grip on sockets before to no avail. If anyone has any good tutorials that could help, for python, it would be greatly apreciated.

The Python socket libraries are just a thin wrapper over the standard BSD sockets. I think the Python Socket Programming HOWTO[1] should be right down your alley.

Thank you much
